Discover Where to Buy Affordable Second-Hand Furniture in Nairobi

Where to start

In order to buy second-hand furniture, first and foremost, you need to be very clear with what budget you are going to work with and what specific furniture you want to purchase. You can easily split your list into three:

1. Urgent or must-have items These are items that would be considered to be of the highest importance as far as household items are concerned. For instance, the fridge, cooker, TV, bed, etc.
2. Recommended Items. There are items in a home that make your life easier and more enjoyable. Mostly, they are items that you can live without. Things like washing machines, home theaters, carpets, microwaves, ovens, bookshelves, kids’ bikes, study desks, king-size beds, and orthopedic mattresses, just to name a few.
3. Leisure List or Additional Items Basically, every home needs a little bit of a facelift. And therefore, some items within a home would make a huge difference in appearance, design, and extra activities. They include flower pots, bedside and toilet carpets, golfing sets, gym equipment, etc.

Who is Corido Marketplace?

Corido Marketplace is Kenya’s leading online auction marketplace, providing corporate firms and homeowners with effective disposal solutions for office and household items. As far as second-hand furniture disposal is concerned, the company has managed to create a lasting mark of dealing with quality items.

How Is Corido Different?

Corido has the following advantages over its competitors in the Kenyan market:

1. Security. Buyers have had challenges doing business online due to an increased number of threats, cyberattacks, and misinformation. What Corido is doing differently is assigning a dedicated and very reliable team to each of its clients.  Their main task is to manage the sale process and the exchange of goods between the buyer and the seller.
2. After-sale services. The company also provides door-to-door delivery service and customer support to its clients.
3. Verification services. Each and every item posted on the Corido website for sale is thoroughly and physically verified by Corido agents. However, all vendors who are authorized to manage the platform or provide any service to their customers are well-trained by the company.
4. Valuation services. If not all, a good number of homeowners have difficulty pricing the items they want to sell. Corido would help in providing updated information on the current market trends and costs of each item at no cost.
5. Account management and customer service It can be tiresome or rather challenging to manage and update your sales orders, product information, and online portfolio at the same time. The good thing is that the company can now handle all these activities on the client’s behalf.
6. Inventory sorting. One of the hardest tasks in disposing of second-hand furniture is for anyone to sort out unwanted or unused items in any storage facility. Such tasks would require a lot of time and manpower to pull them through.
